Two cyclists take a break next to an idyllic pond with a view of the castle gardens in Riggisberg. A large, dark-leaved tree complements the scenery and adds a picturesque contrast to the light-coloured building and the blue sky. The scene looks peaceful, a perfect stopover to enjoy the surroundings and the tranquillity of the castle garden.
